PERCY heaved a sigh as he walked along the forest path in who knows where Maine. The night so far had sucked; first Annabeth had basically told him he was worthless, Thalia had "banished" him from camp for saving those two kids, and to top it all off Artemis had chased him so far into the wood he was lost. Just as he was considering giving up he saw a light up ahead he continued walking towards the town. As he walked he failed to notice the slight ripple as he passed into the charming little town of Storybrooke. MR. GOLD was grinning. So what. He had done it; magic was once again in Storybrooke. That was good for him seeing as how it meant he was once more the dark one. In fact he was just about to toast to his victory when there was a knock at the door. Percy's POV 10 minutes ago PERCY was admittedly a bit shocked when as he was stumbling towards the ground a pair of hands caught him. He looked up and was shocked to see lady Hecate. "Lady Hecate" Percy said fumbling for words. "Do not fear young hero I am here simply to tell you what you need to survive.", she said. "Survive?" , he questioned. "Yes, survive, for this I no ordinary town, all your favorite fairytales, live in the flesh. You see they were brought here by a curse and have only recently recovered their memories. I suggest learning magic. Remember, Mr. Gold's pawn shop. It is where you will find Rumpelstiltskin, the best magic-user in town.", said Lady Hecate in a somewhat ominous tone. "That's great but how do I do magic? After all, I'm not a child of Hecate.", Percy inquired. "Don't worry you shall have my blessing and will stop ageing the day before your 16th birthday ; now go" ,she said before touching his forehead as a light passed into him,"hurry find Rumpelstiltskin." PRESENT PERCY found the shop with ease. He took a minute, gathered his thoughts, and knocked. He was met with a man in his late forties saying "What is it now?!" Percy recovered from his startled state quickly and calmly said, "Hello Mr. Gold I am Percy.I was told to seek you out for aid in learning magic. " Mr. Gold would never admit it but the boy reminded him of Bae, and he quickly said,"Of course, but remember EVERYTHING has a price. So, with that knowledge ate you sure you wish to continue?" Percy responded with a quick" Definitely" Hearing this Mr. Gold gave a grin and said,"Than let's begin."
